httpd rewrite rule

jnojr · 01-25-2010, 12:53 PM

There is an old application out there with a link to what used to be a wiki, https://server1.domian/wiki/index.php server1 no longer hosts the wiki, so I added a statement to httpd.conf:

Redirect permanent /wiki https://server2.domain/wiki/index.php/New_Wiki

That gets me to a URL:

https://server2.domain/wiki/index.ph...Wiki/index.php

So I added a second rule:

Redirect permanent /wiki/index.php https://server2.domain/wiki/index.php/New_Wiki

But I'm still being redirected to https://server2.domain/wiki/index.ph...Wiki/index.php I would prefer to handle this correctly on server1 rather than adding a rule on server2 to redirect /wiki/index.php/New_Wiki/index.php to /wiki/index.php/New_Wiki

Hi,

I cannot see what your problem really is? Isn't that the same URL?

Quote:

https://server2.domain/wiki/index.php/New_Wiki
https://server2.domain/wiki/index.ph...Wiki/index.php

assuming that index.php is the DirectoryIndex page.

Look again...

https://server2.domain/wiki/index.ph...Wiki/index.php

And:

https://server2.domain/wiki/index.php/New_Wiki

How many "index.php"s do I need? :-P

From what I can understand, you want to redirect:

Quote:

https://server1.domian/wiki/index.php

to

Quote:

https://server2.domain/wiki/index.php/New_Wiki

The last index.php is the DirectoryIndex. If you access the old server using https://server1.domian/wiki, then you'll be redirected to https://server2.domain/wiki/index.php/New_Wiki. If you add index.php in the 1st URL and it's also added to the second. That's how redirect works.

I need it to strip off the last index.php

There is only one index.php, at /wiki/index.php All content of the wiki is at /wiki/index.php/Wiki_Content

I need the first server to take requests to /wiki/index.php and redirect them to https://server2/wiki/index.php/New_Wiki

This is what your 1st Redirect should do.
What happens of you go directly to https://server2.domain/wiki/index.php/New_Wiki? Is the last index.php appended automatically?
Anyway you can try the same with mod_rewrite:

Code:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/blog
RewriteRule (.*)/index.php$ https://server2.domain/wiki/index.php/New_Wiki
